Lost In No-Lockdown Minsk 🇧🇾

🇧🇾 'Would I like to go and visit an abandoned Soviet pioneer camp?' my friend Niall asked me. Well what a daft question. Of course I would! And so we set off across no lockdown Minsk in search of a bus out of town and ended up completely lost. But that's a good thing because it meant we met some random Belarusians on the streets of the capitol including a certain famous actor...

    Man! This is an old pioneer camp where we used to go every summer! The name of this camp is "Kirovets" ( Кировец). This camp was attached to the Kirov factory which produced some equipment for factories (The factory is still working by the way). This was common for all camps in Soviet Union ( and post-soviet Belarus). In 1990s - 2000s my parents were working on this factory and were sending me and my brother to this camp every summer for all summer. It was almost free for them. The thing what I remember is that all toilets were outside - they were traditional Russian toilets with a whole in the ground. I also remember we had a separate dining room, where we had 5 meals every day. Sometimes the food was not so good, as almost everything in the 90s, so these toilets usually had long queues to enter. Usually they placed 6-8 holes in 2 rows without any walls between, so when the food was not so fresh (dysentery was quite common), you have to go there and sit face to face with guys from older squads, your friends or your enemies. We used to spend there a lot of time - had a chat, someone was smoking, telling anecdotes. It was almost like the Ancient Rome with patricians. 9:44 This actually was a Banya (Sauna)- the only concrete building in the camp. It was also the only place in the camp (except kitchen) with hot water. Every week our guides were sending us there, and the water was BOILING hot. Eventually this camp was closed because of antisanitary reasons and my parents started to send us to the village. Nothing changed with sanitary for us though because in village it was even worse. Eh, good old times..

    Thanks - I find this really interesting. I have a Polish friend who I used to work with and I used to love listening to her stories about being a young Pioneer and her memories from The Soviet Era (she was very young so at the time so couldn’t remember that much) I used to ask her so many questions sometimes she would get annoyed 😂. One time she brought in some old photos from when she was a Pioneer - I love the red neckerchief. I said I wish I could have been a pioneer - she said ‘are you fucking crazy’ 🤣🤣but then admitted she had good memories from those times, looked after, everything very cheap or free. But she also admitted her dad was head of the local communist party so they said her family got some perks and that everyone was not Equal under communism and people in good positions got better perks and houses etc. I find all the history fascinating 👍

We're surrounded by everything soviet and at the same time had access to everything from the west. We didn't have money though, that's why everything was mostly Chinese and, let's say, low quality - pirated or copied. But it was much better than soviet anyway :)

    Old "soviet spy" card is a blank perf(orated or ~ration)card (I'v heard "punch card" to be used as well, but it's slang, obviously) - one of the first "hard disk" systems invented in the 1930s before the computers by IBM for their electromechanical accounting and statistics machines. They were still in use till the 1970s along with another similar system - perftapes for entering programs and data in the old mainframe machines. Perfcards have found many other types of use even in later times such as, for example, individual identification card for check-in/check-out registration clocks in factories and offices. It survived so far even in these conditions, because they were made of exelent cardboard designed to withstand more shuffling than professional playing cards.

    It’s an 80 column punched card. Used for storing data or programs, usually for input into a computer, but they can also be used for industrial control (commonly looms). For the chap who said he used to colour these in with a pencil, that would likely have been an optical mark recognition card as opposed to a punched card.

    Pioneers were pretty much the same thing as scouts are in US. Even with the unnecessary patriotism. Kids usually didn't care about that. It was a camp where you played, made campfire, etc. True though there was a bit more of a discipline compared to today's camping. But then even scouts do exercise a bit more of that too. It's hard to compare 1:1 because there were some differences among camps even in one country.

    10:14 is not a spy card, is an old punch card, computer programs where programmed in those cards (hundreds of cards) and feed into the mainframe which read those holes and computed the program and the result. Notice one of the corners is beveled, its a guide, the stacks of cards must face the same direction and be aligned, hence that bevel. Usually the holes from two columns (numbered 1 to 9, those are the rows) represented a letter or digit, since you have several columns, maybe you could encode about 40 ish characters per card.

    10:33 Him telling the story about spy school while wearing that mask and the badminton racket hanging out of his jacket is absolutely priceless!!! I'm so glad his trips are back on despite the pandemic not being over yet. Bald is a creative dude.
